WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE CARE TO ALL DURING COVID
In the meantime we are offering in person appointments and we also continue to offer phone / video consultations to try to maintain footfall in the surgery as low as possible for the safety of everyone.
If you are due your smear test please book it as we continue to offer this service.
We still aim to keep all face to face consultations as brief as possible to reduce any risk of transmission of the newer, more highly contagious Covid strains.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE SURGERY IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS OF COVID 19. As well as cough / fever and shortness of breath/ changes taste or smell the Delta strain has been noted to present as head cold / hayfever like symptoms, headache and sore throat. You must consult by phone initially if you or your child has any of these symptoms.
Once again thank you all for your understanding and support over the past 16 months.
